    "abstract": "We construct 3-D solutions of Maxwell\u0027s equations that describe Gaussian\nlight beams focused by a strong lens. We investigate the interaction of such\nbeams with single atoms in free space and the interplay between angular and\nquantum properties of the scattered radiation. We compare the exact results\nwith those obtained with paraxial light beams and from a standard input-output\nformalism. We put our results in the context of quantum information processing\nwith single atoms.",
